She has prominent cheekbones, a sharp nose, thin lips, and a soft chin. She has no piercings and does not normally wear makeup unless she is going to a formal event.

Biography: Jennifer Farrow was born to Andrew and Rosalia Farrow. Her father was an elementary school basketball coach but retired when Jennifer was seven years old. Her mother is an elementary school teacher, teaching mathematics from fifth to sixth grade. Having worked at the same school, the two of them met, had a relationship for three years, and got married soon after.

Being raised by parents who both worked as school teachers, Jennifer was expected to perform and excel well in most of her subjects and was conditioned to this kind of behavior by her parents. Her mother would give her extra tasks and work that her teachers did not assign to her in order to better her knowledge compared to her peers, and her father would focus on her athletic studies, specifically basketball. As a result of this, Jennifer's test scores were consistently above average, and she was often considered to be a star player during her elementary school days.

Such competitive environments also had their fair share of troubles for Jennifer. She did not have a perfect record. When she made mistakes or failures, her parents would often punish her. These punishments often involved cutting off communication with friends, extra study time for failed subjects, and reduced recreational activities. As a result, there weren't many times in her elementary school years where Jennifer successfully cultivated a close circle of friends. Despite this, Jennifer had a sense that her parents knew often what was best for her, as very rarely did she disobey them or even show direct conflict with her parents.

The pressure to perform well academically and athletically affected other areas in Jennifer's life as well. Jennifer has a record of being competitive at anything she tries to pursue, which led her to try out for multiple other sports throughout her academic career in middle school, although she has found that she achieves much more success in basketball.

When Jennifer didn't excel in something, she often preferred to make the quick decision to withdraw from the activity before committing to it. This made it so that Jennifer felt as though she is always under pressure to succeed, which resulted in her seeking out other outlets for her relaxation. Around her middle school years, Jennifer had been invited by several of her team members to join in their gaming circle. It is from here that Jennifer discovered her love of competitive gaming, where she can remain anonymous online without the fear of disappointing either her parents, her school, or her teammates in any serious way, while still enjoying the thrill of the competition. Particularly of interest to her are competitive team-based games, whether they be shooters or MOBAs, which was one of the first few games that her teammates introduced her to to relax in-between practice. While playing these games, Jennifer can exercise her own expectations of herself, without the pressure her parents give her, although she has trouble ignoring aggressive comments about her playstyle or other general toxic online behavior, especially when she does lose in a match. Most of the time, Jennifer prefers to play team-based games with her teammates, as whenever she plays with strangers, her natural tendency to lead can cause harsh words to be said to uncooperative teammates.

Jennifer had also found herself enjoying reading novels, a pastime that she did not expect to show interest in. Of particular interest to her were more adventurous novels, as well as large, epic-scale genre fiction. Spending a few hours a day to read about the adventures that protagonists in fantasy and sci-fi series have and how they overcome overwhelming adversity unexpectedly filled Jennifer with both inspiration and relaxation. She had even felt herself enjoying the exploits of more devious antagonists in these series, often admiring how well-prepared their plans were. She has come to enjoy long-spanning books such as the Wheel of Time and Malazan series. As she reads these books, she has also enjoyed picking apart the failures of the plans of both protagonists and antagonists in books, fancying herself in her father's shoes.

Although her father retired from coaching when she was fairly young, that didn't stop him from continuing to train Jennifer. As she was expected to be a star player by both of her parents, alongside her elementary school sporting experience, Jennifer had high expectations of herself as an athlete. When she joined the basketball team at John Endecott, she hoped that she would be able to become the one star player they needed to take the school basketball team higher in the ranks. Unfortunately for Jennifer, that turned out not to be the case.

Jennifer was no stranger to losing in her team games even before John Endecott. Often when this happened, her father would push her harder, saying that she had been slacking off, or not training very well. Because of this, Jennifer has developed a coping mechanism for the stress of performing at her best all the time. She does this by focusing herself on specific goals and pushing out anything else as distractions. For example, she may focus on making twenty free throws in one training session without missing a shot, and once she's done that, to practice doing it from multiple sides of the court. Doing this allows her to feel like she is making progress, and thus better prepared for her next challenge.

The status of the basketball team has been a source of contention for Jennifer, who expresses extreme confidence in her own abilities, but is conflicted by the team's poor performance and lack of change after Jennifer joined the team. This has caused extreme tension between her and her teammates, and frustration throughout her high school life. This, combined with the lack of socializing experience, has made Jennifer difficult to approach at times by her other classmates. That being said, Jennifer has shown deep respect to anyone who wishes to excel at their very best, and who is as competitive as her in this regard.

At school, she often juggles the need to keep her grades above the average score and her efforts at improving her basketball team's performance. She does not seek to socialize as often, except with people who happen to be related to her circles, such as schoolmates sharing a project, or members of the basketball team. She takes few breaks from these activities and normally unwinds at home or down at the local library, where she would spend time playing some video games or reading novels respectively. Even so, she still keeps up her studying and training in her home life, often to a degree that is more than should be necessary.

After graduation, Jennifer has expressed interest in applying for a sports scholarship, in the hopes that she can join a national college basketball team and start her career as a professional athlete.

Advantages: Jennifer's physical and competitive nature would lend herself well should she treat the need for survival as another form of competition, and her experiences of being pressured to the limit has given her ways to cope with high-stress environments, particularly her one-track mind focus into completing small but progressive tasks while pushing away any other distractions. Furthermore, her history of athletic activities in competitive sports grants her significantly great strength and stamina compared to her peers. Disadvantages: Jennifer has very little experience socializing. She is known to have strained relationships with team members due to her insistence of pushing her own form of self-improvement on them. The lack of leisure time may also increase her stress levels, which in turn could push her too far both mentally and physically.
